Day One of Ninety

Day 1: My Electronics Journey Starts From Zero ⚡ 90 days. One goal. Learn electronics, build things, fail, fix, and keep going. This is Day 1 of my 90-Day Electronics Challenge. I've always been interested in electronics and the things happening behind the devices we use every day. But there's a big difference between being interested in electronics and actually sitting down, picking up a circuit board, writing some code, and making something work. So I decided to start from scratch. No fancy projects. No complicated circuits. Just 90 days of learning, experimenting, failing, and building. And honestly… Day 1 was already an adventure. 😂 --- 🛒 The First Step: Buying My Components The first thing I needed was some basic hardware. So I woke up, got ready, and headed out to buy my components. The electronics shop wasn't exactly around the corner. I had to travel quite a distance by bus just to get there. After reaching the shop, I finally started picking up the things I would...

The Blink

 My First ESP32 Experience Two days ago, I got my hands on an ESP32-C3 module. And when I say module, I mean just the module — no development board, no fancy setup, nothing. Just the ESP32-C3 sitting there, waiting for me to figure out what to do with it. Yesterday, I didn't really get any time to explore it. So today, I was pretty confident. "How hard can it be? I'll just connect it and start programming." Well... apparently, harder than I thought. 😅 I spent around one and a half hours researching, trying different things, going through tutorials, checking connections, and basically trying to figure out why my ESP32 wasn't connecting. And after all that? I still couldn't connect it. 🥲 But I didn't completely lose today. I managed to write my first little piece of code to make the LED blink. It's a very simple program, but honestly, seeing that LED blink after struggling with the setup felt like a small victory. For someone just starting out with ESP...
